14″ MacBook Pro M3 (8 Core CPU/10 Core GPU)

The Apple MacBook Pro “M3” 8-Core CPU/10-Core GPU 14-Inch (Late 2023) model features a 4.05 GHz Apple M3 processor with eight cores (4 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores), a 10-core GPU, a 16-core Neural Engine, 8 GB of “unified” onboard RAM, and a 512 GB or 1 TB onboard SSD. Both the RAM and the SSD can be upgraded at the time of initial system purchase, but not subsequently.

Offered in silver (pictured) and a darker “Space Gray” color (but not “Space Black”), this notebook has an integrated 1080p FaceTime HD webcam, a “high-fidelity six-speaker sound system with force-cancelling woofers,” a backlit “Magic Keyboard” with a “Touch ID” sensor, and a large “Force Touch” trackpad.

Additionally, it has a high-resolution LED-backlit 14.2″ widescreen 3024×1964 (254 ppi, 1000 nits sustained, 1600 nits peak HDR, 600 nits SDR, 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio) “Liquid Retina XDR” display, and a integrated battery that provides an Apple estimated 15-22 hours of runtime.

Connectivity includes Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax), Bluetooth 5.3, two Thunderbolt 4 ports (USB-C connector), an HDMI 2.1 port, an SDXC-capable SD card slot, a 3.5 mm headphone jack, and a “MagSafe 3” power connector.

Compared to its predecessor, this entry-level 14″ “Late 2023” MacBook Pro model has a bigger screen, a faster processor, and more advanced connectivity, but drops the “Touch Bar” and has reduced battery life in some tasks.
